Christopher Cazenove, Peter Sallis and Carole Boyd
The novel by Jean Stubbs adapted for radio by Betty Davies
In the year 1901 Nicholas Carradine is a well-known artist - rich, successful and unhappy. A chance discovery in the attic uncovers a 20-year-old mystery and as Carradine, with the help of Inspector Lintott, pieces together the puzzle he finds out more and more about his past, and about himself. Finally, deeply shaken, he has to abandon illusion and come face to face with the truth.
